  • Document Truncation: If document exceeds limit, only first N pages processed
  • Trial Changes: We may modify, revoke, or withdraw Trial Credits at any time with reasonable notice

Trial Eligibility

Trial Credits are limited to one (1) trial per individual or organization.

For the purpose of these Terms:

  • "Individual" means a unique natural person, regardless of the number of email addresses, accounts, or identities used.
  • "Organization" means any legal entity, business, agency, firm, partnership, or group of users with common ownership, control, affiliation, or billing relationship.

Prohibited Trial Abuse

Creating multiple accounts or identities to obtain additional Trial Credits beyond the permitted limit is strictly prohibited and constitutes misuse of the platform. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Repeated account creation for trial access
  • Use of disposable or temporary email addresses to circumvent trial limits
  • Creating accounts on behalf of the same organization to access repeated free usage
  • Any attempt to disguise identity or evade platform safeguards

Any such activity will be treated as a violation of these Terms.

Lekhak reserves the right to associate, link, merge, or aggregate multiple accounts that appear to be operated by the same individual or organization, using any reasonable means of identification available to us.

Post-Payment Trial Restriction

Once any account associated with an individual or organization has made a payment or entered into a commercial agreement with Lekhak, all associated accounts lose eligibility for Trial Credits going forward, unless explicitly authorized in writing by Lekhak.

Credit Adjustment and Recovery

In the event of misuse, abuse, or violation of these Terms (including Trial Credit abuse), Lekhak reserves the right to:

  • Revoke unused Trial Credits or promotional credits
  • Deduct equivalent paid credits from the user's account
  • Convert Trial Credit usage into paid usage at applicable rates
  • Reverse credits obtained through misuse

Lekhak will make reasonable efforts to notify the user of any credit adjustment, though such notification is not a precondition for the adjustment.

Trial Credits and promotional credits are discretionary and do not constitute an entitlement.

Lekhak offers credit-based paid plans:

  • Purchase credits via our secure payment gateway
  • Credits used per page based on job type and language
  • Custom pricing available for enterprise/B2B customers
  • Pricing details available on our website and dashboard

Payment Terms

  • Credits purchased via Razorpay (or other supported payment gateways)
  • Prices in INR (or local currency as applicable)
  • GST invoices generated automatically for all payments

No Refund Policy

All credit purchases are final and non-refundable. Credits once purchased can only be consumed on the Lekhak platform and will not be refunded under any circumstances. By completing a purchase, you acknowledge and agree to this no-refund policy. This does not affect your statutory rights under applicable consumer protection laws.
